Agreed. Thanks for pointing it out.

Yea. i386 and other arches have done this for awhile, so I preserved it.
However on further inspection, it really doesn't make much sense. We're
pre-timer interurpts anyway, so jiffies won't have begun yet. So now I
just initialize it to zero.

Yep, it is, and you commented just above it.:)

Oh! Great catch! Fixed.
Thanks so much for the thorough review!
Updated patch follows:
thanks

Implement generic timekeeping suspend/resume accounting by introducing
the read_persistent_clock() interface. This is an arch specific
function that returns the seconds since the epoch using the arch
defined battery backed clock.
Aside from allowing the removal of duplicate arch specific resume
logic, this change helps avoid potential resume time ordering issues
between generic and arch specific time code.
This patch only provides the generic usage of this new function and a
weak dummy function, that always returns zero if no arch specific
function is defined. Thus if no persistent clock is present, no change
in behavior should be seen with this patch.
